I have both a GP Cessna 182 40 and a GP Piper Cub 40 fabric covered. I love to fly them both. I dont consider them trainers at all. They do however fly easier than some of my planes but not as easy as a top wing trainer. My cessna comes in quick but no bad tendancies either in the air or on the ground or while landing. The cub glides forever when trying to land. It flys great as does the cessna and niether require much power to get them to fly. I have a Saito 72 4stroke on the cub and a Magnum 52 4 stroke on the cessna. Neither are underpowered. I beileve which ever one you choose you will love or in my case end up buying the other later on and loving both.
